Vice President Cheney will be released from George Washington
University Medical Center this morning. He will rest at home following
a procedure to reopen a focal narrowing in the previously stented
diagonal coronary artery.

The angioplasty was necessitated by a common complication of the stent
procedure, not a progression of his heart disease.

Three sets of cardiac enzymes are normal indicating no damage to the
heart muscle. Multiple EKGs have been unchanged.

No work restrictions have been placed on the Vice President who intends
to resume his schedule later this week.
